This paper evaluates the use of diaroyl(methanato)boron difluoride compounds for designing efficient fluorescent probes through two-photon absorption. Three different pathways allowing for the syntheses of symmetrical and dissymmetrical molecules are reported. The stable diaroyl(methanato)boron difluoride derivatives can be easily obtained in good yields. They exhibit a large one-photon absorption that is easily tuned in the near-UV range. Their strong fluorescence emission covers the whole visible domain. In addition to these attractive linear properties, several diaroyl(methanato)boron difluoride derivatives possess significant cross sections for two-photon absorption. The derived structure-property relationships are promising for designing new generations of molecules relying on the diaroyl(methanato)boron difluoride backbone. 相似文献

Two major components of the cell wall in mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), are polysaccharides containing arabinofuranose residues. In one of these polysaccharides, arabinogalactan, this arabinan domain consists of three identical motifs of 22 arabinofuranose residues, which are in turn attached to an underlying galactofuranan backbone. Recent studies have proposed that this docosanasaccharide motif, and a structurally related arabinan present in another cell wall polysaccharide, lipoarabinomannan, are biosynthesized from a common octadecasaccharide precursor. To facilitate the testing of this hypothesis, we report here the first total syntheses of these 18- and 22-residue oligosaccharides both functionalized with an aminooctyl linker arm. The route to the target compounds involved the preparation of four tri- to heptasaccharide building blocks possessing only benzoyl protecting groups that were coupled in a highly convergent manner via glycosyl trichloroacetimidate donors. Each of the targets could be prepared in only six steps from these intermediates, and in both cases more than 10 mg of material was obtained. These compounds are expected to be useful tools in probing the biosynthesis of these arabinan-containing polysaccharides. Such studies are essential prerequisites for the identification of novel anti-TB agents that target arabinan assembly. 相似文献

The CS-35 antibody is widely used in the characterization of glycans containing D-arabinofuranose residues, in particular polysaccharides present in the mycobacterial cell wall. A detailed understanding of the combining site of this antibody and the measurement of its binding to different ligands is of interest as this knowledge will have implications in the characterization of arabinofuranose-containing glycoconjugates that are increasingly recognized as important biological molecules. Of even greater significance is that an in-depth study of this carbohydrate-protein interaction will provide insights into the mechanisms by which oligosaccharides containing furanose rings are bound by proteins, an area that has, to date, received little attention. This system has been refractory to X-ray crystallography, and thus we report here a study of the interaction of CS-35 with its ligands using a combination of chemical synthesis, mass spectrometry, titration microcalorimetry, and NMR spectroscopy. Through these investigations we have established that the binding pocket recognizes, as a minimum epitope, a linear tetrasaccharide motif and that the residues at the reducing and non-reducing end of the oligosaccharide are essential for tight binding. The residue at the non-reducing end appears to be bound in an aliphatic pocket, whereas the rest of the tetrasaccharide interacts more strongly with aromatic amino acids. 相似文献

This paper evaluates the 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole backbone to engineer donor-acceptor fluorescent pH probes after one- or two-photon absorption. Parent fluorophores, as well as derivatives that can be used to label biomolecules, can be easily obtained in good yields. These molecules exhibit a large one-photon absorption in the near-UV range, and a strong fluorescence emission that covers the whole visible domain. The 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole derivatives also possess significant cross sections for two-photon absorption. Upon pyridine protonation, large shifts were observed in the absorption spectra after one- and two-photon excitation, as well as in the emission spectra. This feature was used to measure the pK(a) of the investigated compounds that range between 2 and 8. In most of the investigated derivatives, the pK(a) increased upon light excitation and protonation exchanges took place during the lifetime of the excited state, as shown by phase-modulation fluorometry analysis. Several 5-aryl-2-pyridyloxazole derivatives are suggested as efficient probes to reliably measure the pH of aqueous solutions by means of ratiometric methods that are dependent on fluorescence emission. 相似文献
